The Challenge

Where they started.

Northwind's old site showcased listings but generated almost no inbound inquiries. Their Meta ads pushed traffic that bounced immediately, and their agents had no system to follow up with leads consistently.

Our Approach

The system we built.

01

Conversion-First Redesign

Rebuilt the site around buyer and seller intent with neighborhood landing pages, valuation tools, and lead magnets.

02

Funnel-Driven Meta Ads

Built dedicated funnels per property type with custom creative tested weekly across cold and warm audiences.

03

AI Lead Qualifier

Added an AI agent that pre-qualifies buyers and sellers, books showings, and routes hot leads instantly to agents.

04

CRM Automation

Connected every lead source to a unified CRM with automated nurture sequences and SMS follow-up.

"Ascend gave our agents a real pipeline. We stopped chasing leads and started closing them."
